i wanted to get away from the rattles of a 106.. why the hell did a buy a clio?

but thats an s4.. and they even say ''he isnt doing as bad as i thought actually'' or something IIRC (Saw it year ago)

they get a 2nd cam power kick at about 4.5k instead of our much more fierce kick but at 5.2kish cams and remap gets them revving to 7800/8k too.

my 182 has exactly same fault.. started before chrimbo at about 18k ish only happens when warm its a LOT more notecable in the drivers cab, and it speeds up if you gently put the pedal down till about 2k where it goes quiet again.. you rev it hard it stops, then you get back down to idle...

if it managed to do that its most likely forced induction. catching up ALOT 85+ needs a lot of power and ALOT of torque.. 4/5k ish gets you 230ish+ bhp at the fly. and fairly reliably too.. just gearboxes that dont like much over 200..

106 gti is heavier slightly i think due to the leather/alcantara on paper (depending on where you look) the gti is slightly slower than vts think this is due to weight when peugeot do there tests.. like a full tank or some luggage or something whereas citroen dont. IIRC. practically...

85mph is more like 30mpg for me nowadays well pissed off.. reckon im gonna have to try changing my plugs.

but the 172 will always be in front unless theyre driven by a complete idiot and the stigs in the VTS.. ive driven plenty of vts and 106 gti and had a 180bhp 820kg vtr engined 106 that would murder my 182. the vts is a fast car (standard/mild mods) and will keep up with a 172. but thats...

standard for standard the 172/182 would win EVERYTIME.. theres no denying that but the vts wouldnt be far behind until you get to illegal speeds. you'll never get the amount of torque steer you get in the 182. but for fun/£ you cant beat the vts. can pick them up for 2k nowadays..

C takes the piss really cos it goes on the general area.. you could be out in the middle of nowhere and have no one withn 10miles of you but your the same risk as an inner town estate?

106 rallyes have steelies.

but they are totally different cars.. the only bit of luxury in a vts is electric windows and wingmirrors.

theyre very under rated cars. they weigh just over 900kg, and often produce 130+bhp out the box. craggys was a very fast one. cams, induction kit, exhaust, and remap will take it to circa 160bhp and 140lbft of torque... strip it out and its down to about 870kg. you got a quick motor...

stirling looks quality i want snow

mines on 24k miles now rant it on optimax and now sainsburys super mrbilly.. did you just replace them with NGK's or genuine renault?

what are the standard fit renault ones in both 1.2 16v's and 182s?? how long should they last? as my 182 mpg seems down, wondered if the spark plugs were geting a bit poor.. and my sisters 1.2 has a coilpack/spark problem i think

jesus.. you got LOADS of snow.. none round here luckily the 182 is built with a 4x4 stance old car in 2004:

pretty much summed it up if your VERY VERY careful and gentle and keep the bit moving, you can use a flap wheel to remove all the roughness on the inlet tubes. saves alot of time but you do have to be very careful and keep it moving or you will create flat spots! halfords also do 'variety...

strutbracer.co.uk - excellent service, excellent prices

good move my hand nearly fell off

i washed polished and wax'd mine today then i went to apply a second coat of wax and it started snowing tried again later and it started spitting grr. weather.

also instead of braking, coast down if you see a roundabout ahead, instead of drivign normally up to it then braking, just let off the pedal and coast to it, gradually slowing down IIRC you use less fuel when n gear coasting without your foot on the pedal than you do idling!

where abouts was that martin?

steelies?? they to protect alloys from kerbage in snow?

looks like some nice roads north wales?? you get around a bit dont you maz. lol is that your ctr behind her adtmits? anybody experience any scary slidey icey moments?
